D-Glucose-5-13C is a form of glucose labeled with the carbon-13 isotope at the 5th carbon position. This isotopic labeling is particularly useful in metabolic studies, allowing researchers to track the fate of glucose in biochemical pathways with high precision. Using techniques like NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry, D-Glucose-5-13C facilitates the detailed analysis of glucose metabolism, including glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, and the pentose phosphate pathway. Despite the carbon-13 substitution, it retains the same chemical and biological properties as non-labeled glucose.
